      Brazen England fans don ‘winners’ tattoos before Euros 2024 final even begins as supporters say ‘it’s coming home’

      by

      BRAZEN England fans have donned Euro 2024 winners tattoos before the final even begins.Multiple Three Lions supporters have been inked in the days since Gareth Southgate’s men saw off the Netherlands 2-1 in the semi-final on Wednesday night.England fan Dan Thomas is very confident the Three Lions will win tonightCredit: Dan Thomas / PAThe data consultant had ‘England Euro 2024 Winners’ and the trophy tattooed on his thighCredit: Dan Thomas / PADan spent two and a half hours in the chair getting the inking doneCredit: Dan Thomas / PAThe tattoo artist asked Dan three times if he was definitely sure before startingCredit: Dan Thomas / PADan Thomas, from Swindon, Wiltshire, is among those who is ultra-confident England will defeat Spain tonight in Berlin and end 58 years of hurt.The data consultant spent two and a half hours getting a trophy and the words “England Euro 2024 Winners” tattooed on his leg three days ago. The 29-year-old went to the Reign Barbers and Tattoos parlour in Swindon on Thursday – the day after Ollie Watkins’ last minute strike booked the nation’s place in the final.”I thought (England) would get far, so it’s come as no shock,” he said.Read more football news”I’m pretty confident. I think it will happen. I wouldn’t have got it done if I didn’t think it would happen.”I think it will be close and I think it will be 1-1, but go to extra time. I think we’ll win 2-1 at extra time.”Mr Thomas considered getting a similar tattoo in 2021 when England faced Italy in the Euro 2020 final, but hopes this year’s tattoo will secure Southgate’s team victory.”I went into the studio and just said it would be great to have (the tattoo). I was joking, but then I thought, ‘actually, no, I’m really confident I’m going to get it done’ so it was a spur of the moment, last minute thing,” he said.Most read in Euro 2024″My tattooist has already told me that as a punishment if they do lose then he’s not going to cover it up for at least a year.”England’s Billion Pound Players: The Clash with SpainMr Thomas livestreamed the moment he had the artwork tattooed to his leg, which received 42,000 views on TikTok, and he has encouraged others considering getting a similar tattoo to “go and get it”.”They’re going to win so you may as well get it before the queues start on Monday,” he said.Mr Thomas’s friend, Jack Wilkinson, who owns Reign Barbers and Tattoos, did not believe Mr Thomas would go ahead with the tattoo “until the needle actually touched the skin”.Mr Wilkinson said: “I thought it was a joke to start with, but he said he was full of confidence and wanted to be the first one to get it done before everyone else gets it done after they win.”It still feels surreal that he actually got it done. It sums up Dan as a person. He’s quite eccentric and Mr Positive.”Tattoo artist Tinashe Chikerema applied the ink, not before he “triple checked” with the data consultant if he wanted it done.”I couldn’t believe he actually wanted the tattoo, but I triple-checked with him. Fair play to him for being so confident in the team,” Mr Chikerema said.”I predict the score will be 3-1 to England, and I hope (Eberechi) Eze scores, as he’s my favourite player.”Meanwhile, Mr Wilkinson believes the game will end on penalties, but admits he does not share the same certainty as Mr Thomas.”I think it will be 1-1 and then they’ll potentially win on penalties. I’m not as confident as Dan. I’ve got a lot of tattoos, but I wouldn’t go that far.”He said the Euros has been a “nice boost” for business particularly after his shop struggled during the Covid-19 pandemic.”We’ve had quite a few queries off the back of (Dan’s tattoo),” he explained.”We’re a barbers as well and we don’t always open on Sundays – we do it on booking only – but we’ve got quite a few people coming in who want their hair cut before the game.”I think from a business point of (the Euros) has helped the country with the England team doing well.”The economy has been struggling recently, especially since Covid, and I think it has been a nice boost, especially for SMEs (small and midsize enterprises) like myself.”Meanwhile, fellow die-hard football fan Jack Pancaldi also got a brave tattoo while on holiday in Portugal.And the 20-year-old got it done before the Three Lions had even got past the semi-finals.What’s more, “England” has been spelled wrong and reads: “Engerland 2024 Winners”.Pal Oliver Adams wasted no time in documenting Jack’s new ink on social media – roasting him for the spelling fail. Oliver, also 20, filmed the ink in its full glory, asking Jack what he had done before adding: “Look at the state of it.” Where to watch the Euro 2024 final tonightEngland vs Spain will be broadcast LIVE on BBC One AND ITV 1 in the UK.Coverage is expected to commence from 7pm BST on both channels – an hour before kick-off.Fans can stream the entire action through BBC iPlayer or ITV X via any compatible device.Alternatively, head to SunSport’s live blog to keep up with the whole match including pre and post-match coverage.However, taking it in his stride, Jack proudly showed off his tattoo and laughed as Oliver zoomed into his chest.Oliver captioned the video – which got thousands of views on TikTok: “It’s coming home” and gave some context to the tattoo. He said: “He got it after watching England vs Switzerland while we were on a lad’s holiday in Albufeira, Portugal.”Another confident fan ‘Ben’ was congratulated by BRUX tattoo studio for his optimism after getting an inking on his back listing England as winners of the Euros.It comes after he made several blunders listing the Three Lions as winners in 2020 when the team was runners up, as well as World Cup victors in 2018 and 2022 before having them all crossed off.Sharing a video of the latest bold prediction being applied on Instagram, the studio wrote: “Come on England! Thanks Ben, love the optimism mate.”The clip had the 1998 version of Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds’ Three Lions anthem.One wrote: “Why doesn’t he wait until afterwards? Will he not have enough time when it happens?”Another joked: “This tattoo will get another red line this Sunday.”A third said that he “jinxed it” while others claimed that they “love the confidence”.While others were also annoyed that he had completely ignored the Lionesses Euro 2022 triumph.READ MORE SUN STORIESIt comes after Brazilian model Tyffany Santos said a fan paid £7,000 for her to have Jude Bellingham’s name inked below her belly button ahead of England’s semi-final clash against the Netherlands last week.The model recently went viral for wearing nothing but body paint in the colours of the Brazilian national team on the London underground.Jack Pancaldi, 20, got the tattoo after England beat Switzerland in the quarter finalsCredit: CatersThe inking even has a spelling error, but Jack doesn’t mindCredit: CatersConfident fan Ben has already boldy predicted a win despite his previous tattoo blunderCredit: Instagram @bruxismtattooTyffany Santos had a tattoo of Jude Bellingham’s nameCredit: Jam Press/ CO Press OfficeThe Brazilian model said a fan paid £7,000 for her to have the tat done in an intimate areaCredit: Jam Press/ CO Press Office More

      What do Lionel Messi’s tattoos mean?

      by

      LIONEL Messi is widely considered to be the greatest footballer of all time.But how many tattoos does the player from Argentina have and what do they mean?

      What do Lionel Messi’s tattoos mean?
      Lionel Messi has a lot of body art — but what are the meanings behind the portraits, symbols and emblems that decorate his skin?
      The first inking the Inter Miami captain ever got was a portrait of his mother, Celia Cuccittini, on the back of his left shoulder to show his love and respect for her.
      She runs the Leo Messi Foundation, the charity the footballer set up to aid youngsters in need.
      After seeing the image of Celia, comedian Noel Fielding joked that the soccer ace had a tattoo of his face on his back.
      READ MORE ON LIONEL MESSI
      On November 2, 2012 — the date he became a father for the first time — Messi had his newborn son Thiago’s hands inked onto the back of his leg.
      Leo added Thiago’s name in a heart in between Thiago’s thumbs because a lot of people thought the tat signified Diego Maradona’s hand of god goal.
      He also got the name of his second son, Mateo, put onto his left arm on September 11, 2015.
      Messi got a picture of a football etched onto just below the knee of his left leg, which signifies his passion for the sport.
      Most read in Football
      To honour his religious convictions, the World Cup winner got branded with an image of Jesus Christ with a crown of thorns on his right arm.
      Lionel got a tattoo of a lotus on his his bicep to symbolise his rags-to-riches story, from a humble boy born in the Argentinian City of Rosario to becoming a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.
      According to his tattooist Roberto Lopez: “The lotus symbolises that talent can grow anywhere even with forces stopping it.”
      The artwork on the striker’s right elbow of a rose window is inspired by the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
      “The rose window of the famous Barcelona church Sagrada Familia shows the love he has for the city,” said Lopez.
      Along with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo, the GOAT has a picture of a crown on his right arm, with the his-and-hers royal headwear representing the couple’s love for one another.
      Messi also has a tattoo of his wife’s eye on his right bicep.
      To signify the importance of time, he has a tat of a giant clock covering his right forearm — the illustration includes a number of timepiece cogs.
      On the sleeve of his right arm Lionel has a rosary — a string of beads — which, according to his tattoo artist Roberto Lopez, is supposed to convey the journey of his life.
      While playing for both Argentina and Barcelona, Messi’s shirt number was 10, which he has tattooed on his left shin.
      La Plulga — Spanish for little flea, one of his many nicknames — has the birthdates of his three sons and his wife inked onto his left leg.
      Messi has his wife’s lips applied to his left hip, just above his groin.
      He also reportedly has tattoos of South America and Europe somewhere on his right arm, although it is not easy to spot them from photos.
      How many tattoos does Lionel Messi have?
      According to most reports, Messi has 18 tattoos.
      His leg was previously decorated with a sword with wings and flower patterns, but in a strange twist they are now covered up, so it is impossible to know how many he’s had in total.
      Also, there may be some tats in areas where cameras are not welcome.
      When did Lionel Messi get his first tattoo?
      Leo got his first tattoo back in 2011.

      It is on his the back of his left shoulder.
      The artwork is a portrait of his mother, Celia María Cuccittini. More

      World’s worst football fan tattoos from chubby Messi to cheeky ‘Arse-nal’ inking and VERY over-the-top Man Utd tributes

      by

      MANY die-hard football fans who wanted tattoos of their favourite team or player inked onto their skin soon came to regret their hasty decisions.Whether that be a club badge, trophy or even a player’s face, many people have seen their tattoos go horribly wrong.
      Some football fans have gone to extreme lengths when getting tattoos of their favourite clubs and playersCredit: Imgur
      Below are some of the worst football fan tattoos to ever grace the internet.
      Chubby Messi
      A fan had Lionel Messi holding the World Cup inked on his back but the Argentine star’s face is slightly out of proportion
      After Argentina’ won the 2022 FIFA World Cup last year, one fan went to the extreme length of getting Lionel Messi lifting the trophy tattooed across his back.
      However, Messi’s face appears to be extremely bloated and he’s been made to look overweight, with one person describing the tattoo as “a combo of Messi and Rooney.”
      Arse-nal
      An Arsenal fan chose to show his love for the club in an unusual wayCredit: Mike Hewitt / Getty Images
      It’s not often you’d see this kind of tattoo but one Arsenal fan wanted to show his love for the club by getting their name inked on his backside.
      Read more in Football
      On one side is “nal” and on the other is “FC”. It doesn’t take long to figure out where the “Arse” part is, as this person’s attempt at humour certainly backfired.
      Andy Cole nightmare
      This unfortunate man saw Andy Cole leave Newcastle just two days after he got this tattoo of himCredit: News Group Newspapers Ltd
      One Newcastle fan opted to get a tattoo of former striker Andy Cole on his thigh – two days before he signed for Manchester United.
      To add further insult to injury, the picture of him in his underwear was plastered across all of the front pages once news broke of his disaster.
      Eeverton
      This Everton fan had a nightmare after their tattooist spell the club’s name wrongCredit: Imgur
      A very common mistake with the majority of tattoo disasters is spelling mistakes and this unfortunate Everton fan was the latest to be added to that list.
      Most read in Football
      You’d think getting a tattoo of the word “Everton” would be quite simply but not for a certain artist, who put a second “e” in the word and made a complete mess of their work.
      The walking tattoo
      This man decided to get some of the most extreme football tattoos on his face
      This man has taken things to an extreme level when it comes to loving your football club and loving tattoos.
      This Leeds United and England fan has covered almost every part of his face in ink with flags and colours of the team and country he loves.
      Bleeding green and white
      This Colombian fan can now wear his club’s colours for the rest of his lifeCredit: Imgur
      A fan of Colombian side Atletico Nacional has dreamed of wearing his club’s famous colours so much that he got them tattooed onto his body.
      This crazy football fan acted out his fantasy by getting Atletico’s shirt of green and white stripes permanently inked on his skin, on his back and front.
      Man United disaster
      Just one of many Manchester United tattoos that have gone wrongCredit: Twitter: @TrollFootball
      Probably one of the worst tattoo’s you’ll ever see. It looks like it was drawn on with marker pen rather than inked on by a professional.
      Nonetheless, this person has a huge Man United badge etched onto their back, with Sir Alex Ferguson’s name written beneath. The whole thing looks like it was drawn by a child.
      Another Man United disaster
      Potentially the only Manchester United and Liverpool tattooCredit: Facebook
      This tattoo of United’s badge is actually much better than the previous one and of a much smaller size too.
      However, it is placed between the words “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, the song adopted by Liverpool – one of United’s biggest rivals.

      Tottenham Till I Die
      This Tottenham fan went to extreme lengths to show his love for the clubCredit: Getty

      I was a drug addict – now I’m a tattoo artist and charge celebs £3,000 per inking…how I turned my life around

      by

      A DRUG addict who turned his life around now makes up to £3,000 per inking from celebrity clients – here’s how he did it.Dan Rossetter, from Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex had delved so deeply into the crippling world of addiction, he knew he’d end up dead or in prison if he didn’t stop.

      At the age of 30 he had reached a breaking point after dealing with years of painful trauma from being sexually abused throughout his childhood.
      Battling with PTSD, Dan soon lost his job as a BOC gasman – but tried to find some sense of justice in 2013.
      He bravely spoke out about what had been done to him from the age of six to 11, and three years later the survivor saw his abuser sentenced to 13 years in jail.
      However, this did not put an end to Dan’s addiction, and by March 2019 he knew it would either kill him or land him in prison.

      Dan, 40, who now lives in London, told MediaDrumWorld: “My addiction was getting worse, I got to the point where my mental health was deteriorating rapidly and I was feeling very suicidal.
      “With a lot of hard work and help from some very good lifestyle coaches I managed to get myself clean and sober and then my obsession became work and being the best version of myself.”
      Now four years sober, Dan travels to tattoo pro-footballer clients who live up to 600 miles away, and has amassed nearly 200,000 TikTok followers.
      “I’ve tattooed the most footballers out of any other tattoo artist in the world; I’ve documented a lot of this on TikTok which then blew up so my demand for general public clients has also increased massively,” Dan explained.

      “I have clients travelling from all over the UK and also from abroad.
      “Recently I flew over to Spain to tattoo Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard, he wanted a scroll with his five kids’ names in it.”
      The TikTok sensation recounted his biggest work of art was for Chelsea Football Club’s Victor Moses.
      It took the talented artist more than eight hours to complete the black and grey tiger back tattoo.
      HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
      Dan is not new to the industry and kick started his career back in 2010.
      He opened a studio in Gatwick but struggled to manage the business for five years, amid his declining mental health.
      “We made the decision to close the doors in 2015 I partnered up with my business partner Ahmed Alsanawi, AKA A Star Barber,” the tattoo artist said.
      “He is one of the biggest barbers in the world for haircuts for celebrities.
      “I have now been in the game for the last 13 years so I’ve gained a lot of snowball effect returning clients that had kept me busy over the years but what I am most recognised for is tattooing professional footballers.”
      He said clients can fork out anything ranging from £700 to £3,000 depending on the session.
      In his bid to stay at the top of his game, the dedicated artist puts in 12-hour shifts busy days.
      ‘SACRIFICES’
      Despite Dan’s gratitude for the success and fortune he’s found in his dream career – it does come at a cost.
      Being on the road and heavy shift hours has seen the TikTok star “burning out mentally and physically” at times.
      Although he has come a long way since turning his life around in 2019, Dan admitted he does still “struggle” to manage the “demanding” business.
      “Also my neck and back has taken a big hit which to this day still causes me a lot of problems,” he added.

      However, none of this keeps Dan away from his studio.
      He said: “But I get to have fun at work too, I have a great memory of when I let four Chelsea players tattoo random things on my leg from a emoji poop to a disabled badge, also the Adidas logo is on there.
      “It was a funny afternoon.”
      KEY TO SUCCESS
      After a difficult start to his career journey, Dan wants to educate other people who want to join him.
      One piece of golden advice he offered was to find ways of expanding your portfolio.
      He said: “Create yourself a portfolio of your artwork and keep knocking at the doors of local studios.
      “Become a pest and keep asking until you get an opportunity.”

      The 40-year-old reminded young artists to stay “relentless” despite it being such a hard industry to break into.
      “If you want it enough you will get your opportunity,” said Dan.
